Eccles Leisure Centre

Badminton is hugely popular across Manchester and Eccles Leisure Centre is one of the finest facilities available for locals to visit and play a game.

One of the most favourable features of badminton is that it is always played indoors which means that it’s possible to play matches for every day of the year. The sport can be enjoyed in singles and doubles and the game lends itself perfectly for mixed matches too. If you’re wanting to see what the sport is all about for the first time, then many of the facilities will rent out rackets and shuttlecocks.

Pay as you play is the system in operation here. This means sports players don’t have to make a financial commitment for the month or year. It also allows players to get a feel for a sports venue before looking to book more regular games.

There are spacious and clean changing rooms available for sports players. These make it possible to get ready for your session on arrival and change after if anyone is heading straight into work afterwards – or out for a drink with teammates.

The nearest station to the venue is Eccles tram stop which makes travelling via public transport a very good option. The venue is just a short walk away the stop and makes for an ideal warm-up and warm down exercise to bookend your game.
